This story is told in two different timelines (the past and present) from two different POVs – Izzy and Nate, the main characters. 
 
It has an interesting story and I was hooked right from the start, the chemistry between the two main characters is there and I found myself rooting for their happily ever after. 
I enjoy the flashbacks, seeing how fate keeps getting them back together and seeing how good they would be as a couple. 
 
I really like the writing style, all the emotions that the main characters are feeling are conveyed really well – the sadness, the longing, the heart-break, love and hope. It's all there throughout the story. 
 
While I like most of the things here in this story, I felt things becomes slightly repetitive near the ending because the timing for Nate and Izzy isn’t always right and they keep pushing and pulling each other for 10 years. 
Nevertheless, it was wrapped up nicely and I’m satisfied with how it ends. 
 
Overall, it’s a good military romance book and I enjoy my time reading this second chance romance. 
I haven’t read many stories like this and this book makes me want to read more of them!  
 
I received an advanced review copy for free through Netgalley, and I am leaving this review voluntarily. Huge thank you to the author and publisher!
